Chapter 408 The Birth of a Real Quantum Computer

Tang Xiaochuan came to Feitian Science and Technology Research Center with a feeling of surprise. As soon as the car drove to the gate, Guan Jingwen called.

"Husband, didn't you say that you will be home for dinner in half an hour? The food is almost cold, and I'm hungry!"

Tang Xiaochuan slapped his head when he heard it. Just now, when he heard Professor Liu say that the second generation of quantum computers had been developed, he forgot that Guan Jingwen was still at home waiting for him to have dinner with him, and quickly said, "Baby, I Now at the research center, there is something going on here, I have to come over and have a look, why don't you eat first, don't wait for me, just leave some food for me!"

"Well then, come back soon!"

"Yeah, I'll go back as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaochuan got out of the car and underwent an inspection. Then he walked to the research building led by two security guards. Professor Liu was waiting under the office building of the research center.

"Professor Liu, where are the things?"

"Boss, that thing is too big, it's not here, follow me!"

Under the leadership of Professor Liu, Tang Xiaochuan came to an indoor laboratory with a large space. An indoor basketball court was several times larger, with a height of more than ten meters above his head.

"This is Wisdom's first-generation quantum computer!" Professor Liu said, pointing to a small house-like device the size of a security room.

Tang Xiaochuan walked up to this big guy and compared, "Damn it, is it one meter taller than me? Why is this thing so big?"

Professor Liu said with a smile: "No way, the first generation of quantum computers is so big, 2.82 meters high, 3.5 meters long, and 2.6 meters wide!"

Tang Xiaochuan walked along this guy and found that the size of this thing was comparable to a small house. He walked to the other side and found several scientific researchers in white coats operating in front of this big machine. He couldn't help asking: "Huh?" , what are you doing?"

The three researchers turned their heads when they heard the figure, and when they saw clearly that it was Tang Xiaochuan, they couldn't help but turned around and greeted quickly: "Hi, boss!"

"Hello, what are you doing?"

One of the twenty-seven or eighteen-year-olds wearing glasses said, "Boss, we are programming!"

"Programming?" Tang Xiaochuan was taken aback, "You mean our intelligent quantum computer has reached the point where it can be programmed?"

The young scientist nodded and said, "Of course!"

"Then what function does it have?"

The young man pondered for a while and explained: "Let's put it this way, it is equivalent to a 386 computer at this stage, 386 computer, you know?"

"I know, but if its performance is only equivalent to a 386 computer, then what is the use of this quantum computer? I can get a 486 computer and beat it!"

The young man quickly said: "You may not understand what I mean, I am not saying that its performance is only equivalent to a 386 computer, but that if we compare quantum computers with electronic computers, our smart one The quantum computer is at the stage of the 386 computer, and its calculation speed is 150 trillion times faster than the most advanced supercomputer, and the number of superconducting qubits has reached 100 bits!"

Tang Xiaochuan turned his head and saw that there was a display screen on this big guy, and a keyboard and mouse on the table next to him. He couldn't help asking: "There is also a monitor, keyboard and mouse here?"

"Of course there is. Otherwise, how to display it to the operator and how to operate it?" The young man said with a smile, "What we are researching now is to conduct it on the basis of traditional computers. It must be easy to operate, easy to understand, and Otherwise, commercial sales will be carried out in the future, and consumers will not use it. It's so much easier with a tricycle!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded, and asked again: "Then does this thing have an operating system?"

"Yes, we have already made an operating system, and we are testing its operability while trying it out! At present, this operating system is realizing the systematic management of quantum resources, parallel execution of quantum computing tasks, quantum It is very practical in terms of automatic chip calibration and helping quantum computers to run efficiently and stably!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "How long will it take to develop a commercial personal quantum computer?"

The young man shook his head: "That's not certain. You can see that this guy's current physique is too big. Due to the material problem, it is impossible to realize personal commercial use in a short time. Advanced quantum chips have just transitioned from one-dimensional to two-dimensional. The design, manufacture and programming of quantum computers are very difficult. Electromagnetic waves, vibrations, temperature rise and fall, external noise, errors and various quantum decoherence effects will all affect quantum computing. Accuracy and the operation of the machine have a fatal impact, and it is not practical at present, and the smart type 2 we developed barely overcomes the obstacle of error correction. If we solve some programming problems, we think it can be applied to Try its computing and processing capabilities on a satellite. After all, in the space environment, there is almost no interference from noise and vibration. We can also find ways to overcome other problems such as electromagnetic waves and temperature rise and fall! But if it is completely used for personal quantum computers, then I don’t know that I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!”

Tang Xiaochuan thought for a while and said: "Since it is possible to use it on satellites now, you should think of ways to overcome some technical obstacles and try to install it on satellites earlier! If it can be used on satellites, isn't it? Means it can be used on a manned spacecraft?"

The young scientist nodded: "Of course, there are too many interferences from various environmental factors on the earth, which greatly affects the stability of quantum entanglement, but the manned spaceship is to travel in space, and the interference it receives is much less! If we can make breakthroughs in materials in the future, it is possible to reduce its size, and then consider the issue of personal commercial use!"

Tang Xiaochuan: "I hope you can apply it to satellites, space stations and manned spacecraft as soon as possible!"

"clear!"

Professor Liu took Tang Xiaochuan to visit another second-generation quantum computer. Tang Xiaochuan asked as he walked, "How many of this first-generation quantum computer have been manufactured?"

"Six units, after the manufacturing is completed, are mainly used for programming by computer talents. The operating system of our quantum computer is written by scientists using these six first-generation quantum computers. Of course, the function of this operating system is not enough now, and we have to Continue to optimize and upgrade, just now the three of them are the program engineers of the quantum computer!"

Coming to another big basketball court-sized house, Tang Xiaochuan saw a big guy of the same size.

"This is the second-generation quantum computer. Due to the problems of manufacturing materials and circuit design, its size still cannot break through the bottleneck, but the processing performance of its quantum chip is almost six or seven times higher than that of the first generation!"

Tang Xiaochuan touched his chin and said: "I think we can slow down the research speed in terms of continuing to improve the computing speed of quantum computers. After all, the computing speed of our current quantum chips is fast enough, and we should focus more research energy and resources on overcoming What do you think about anti-environmental interference and material research?"

Professor Liu nodded and said, "Yes, except for one group that is still researching to further increase the controllable superconducting qubits, I have put other resources on anti-environmental interference and new materials!"

"How many optical qubits are the chips of this second-generation quantum computer?"

"180!"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "A two-dimensional quantum chip?"

Professor Liu shook his head: "No, the first generation is a two-dimensional quantum chip, and this second generation has broken through to three-dimensional in design architecture!"

Tang Xiaochuan thought for a while and asked again: "If I want to hold a press conference to announce to the outside world that we have developed the first-generation quantum computer, what are its advantages that can be shown to the outside world?"

Professor Liu said: "Sir, the advantage of quantum computers over traditional electronic computers is that their computing speed is far beyond that of electronic computers. This is based on the principle of superposition of quantum states; and based on the characteristics of quantum non-cloning. The field can achieve absolute encryption without being cracked; quantum also has a characteristic called quantum state entanglement. Go to another quantum and do the same movement! At present, we can’t apply these aspects to practical applications, and we can only demonstrate its computing speed and absolute encryption security of communication!”

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "What kind of network is the internal space network used by several of us? Is it also an encrypted quantum encryption network that relies on electromagnetic wave transmission?"

Professor Liu said: "No, the transmission speed of electromagnetic waves is only the speed of light. Communication in the future space will definitely not be so low-end. It will take a long time to receive signals just by using electromagnetic waves in the solar system. In the future, we will use the extremely mature quantum network communication technology to communicate, whether it is voice calls or video connections, we will use quantum network communication technology, which is to use the characteristic of quantum state entanglement to the extreme. The internal space network we use now It is also quantum network communication, as long as the technology is achieved, quantum network communication can ignore the length of distance, and even communicate and transmit beyond time and space!"

Tang Xiaochuan touched his chin, "So, the interstellar portal we built outside the solar system is also based on this principle?"

"Yes, boss!" Professor Liu replied.

Tang Xiaochuan thought about it and said: "Professor Liu, I plan to hold a press conference to announce the results of our first-generation quantum computer to the outside world. You can arrange what needs to be announced!"

"Okay, boss!"
